I need to go to the grocery store, but this trillion-degree July weather has made the thought of even stepping outside for one second an unthinkable concept. Until I summon enough fortitude to brave the miserable heat with an armful of canvas totebags, I'm peering into my fridge hopefully (did food automagically appear yet?) and browsing grocery-themed Etsy items for you, friend:
This is one of those Finds that I had a little debate with myself about—should I buy it? Or use it in the email? Someone will definitely buy it first if I do...but this shop deserves the recognition...until I eventually ended up not only featuring the item, but also building an entire theme around it. The race is on, who will own this? At NeverEver, $10.

Farmers Market Billfold, Checkbook Cover
My parents would also call this a billfold. I don't write many checks in these Internet Age days of ours (except to pay my rent), but I am still a voracious coupon clipper and this little wallet is a perfect organizer for those. Found at mountainashdesign, $16.

* P.S. Grocery Getter was a type of automobile that used to race in the stock car races I would attend every Saturday night in the summer with my pop when I was small. Even though this Find has nothing to do with stock car racing, I always liked the term.

That Memo Minder is pure genius. I'm adding that to my ever growing list of must-haves.
Also.. EVERYONE should have Susie's art hanging on their walls... on their body, their refrigerator. She's amazing.
